New Index coverage issue detected in Google Search Console

Started seeing this in the new Google Search Console and getting emails from Google:

"Search Console has identified that your site is affected by 1 new Index coverage related issue. This means that Index coverage may be negatively affected in Google Search results. We encourage you to fix this issue."

Seems to related to empty category pages that are still public:

"Submitted URL seems to be a Soft 404"

Fetch as Google shows a 200:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK

Anyone else seeing this? Any idea why they are showing a soft 404 when header shows 200?
